How far do some of you guys drive to fly?

ROBC · 09-13-2006, 01:53 PM

I was just wondering how far some of you guys drive to your flying spot. my field is 10 mins but am thinking of switching clubs and their field is about 50 mins from me.

5 minutes to 6 hours.

45 min or 1 hour MIN...
It sucks ... means no flying during the week (big stuff)
and thast 1.5 hours of my allotted flying time getting there and back!

I sneak a pack or two in on the way home from work at a park... only thing that keeps me sane.

I live about 5 miles from the field.

our Airfield is outside of my village

less then 5 minutes
you spend enough time loading & unloading the car
and even building the plane up

If i want to practice with some other IMAC pilots I have to drive 2hrs each way. If i practice by myself which i mainly do, its about 45min. Kinda sucks but we have been losing alot of flying sites down here in south florida.
